Multiple update operation in Mongoose

I am trying to update multiple fields in a single document using Mongoose.

var fooSchema = new Schema({
  foo: {
    a: [ { type: Number, ref: User, required: true } ],
    b: [ { type: Number, ref: User } ],
    c: [ { type: Number, ref: User } ],
  }
});

foo.findByIdAndUpdate(
 req.params._id,
 { 
   $addToSet: { "foo.a" : req.params.user_id },
   $pull: { "foo.b" : req.params.user_id },
   $pull: { "foo.c" : req.params.user_id } 
  },
  { safe: true },
  function(e) {
    ...
  }
);

foo.a is updated as expected but user_id is not removed from foo.b. Is it possible to have multiple update condition in a single operation using Mongoose/MongoDB?

You need to combine both $pull terms into a single object as you can't have two fields with the same name:

foo.findByIdAndUpdate(
  req.params._id,
  { 
    $addToSet: { "foo.a" : req.params.user_id },
    $pull: {
      "foo.b" : req.params.user_id,
      "foo.c" : req.params.user_id 
    } 
  },
  { safe: true },
  function(e) {
    ...
  }
);
